Malnourishment

To be to be,
Is who God is,
To describe in detail His power,
Is malnourishment of what it truly is,
Figured it out you have,
Far from it,
For words from tongues cannot formulate,
Words developed for understanding all creation,
But words tainted by the human presence,
His power that resonates without being heard,
A power that shows without being seen,
Yet graces those that which don't comprehend.

Alesia Leach March 7, 2025 at 5:25 PM Your poem has a deep, contemplative tone, almost meditative in its reflection on the limits of language when describing the divine. The structure and phrasing create a sense of mystery, reinforcing the idea that God's power transcends human understanding. The repetition of "to be to be" at the beginning is intriguing--it echoes existential and theological ideas, reminiscent of "I Am" as a divine self-description. Garrett Bass March 8, 2025 at 5:31 AM Hit the nail on the head! Was actually curious if anyone catch the "I am" reference and of course Alesia did haha! You should be analyst! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
